As a first time poster, let me join in by saying tracking my Z4 from date of order, through production, transportation to Bremerhaven, loaded on a ship, tracking through the English Channel, and tracking across the North Atlantic Ocean is addictive. If anyone is interested, I'll post all of the time line details for those of you who want to get a sense of currently how long it is taking from date of order to date of delivery (my car is currently on the ship "California Highway" en route to Baltimore and thereafter to Brunswick, Georgia).

Wow! Congratulations on ordering such an unusual and stunning color combination. I'm glad it'll be you keeping that interior clean, but I'm sure your car will turn heads wherever you go.

Agreed on this being a fantastic color combination, and it will certainly garner attention. In addition, DOUBLE agree on cleaning the white seats in the interior. Having owned BMWs with Beige, Saddle Brown, Oyster White and Coral Red interiors, the white is by far and above the toughest to keep clean, followed by the beige. Saddle Brown and Coral Red are a breeze to clean.

OP, if you care about such things, I have one piece of advice: never, ever wear or let your passenger (no matter how shapely) wear blue jeans in the car. Simply put, ingress and egress will cause the seams of the seat to turn blue, no matter how diligent you are. Unfortunately, this also happens quick - under a year with regular driving. Its the price you pay for a beautiful white interior.
